I looked up at You and smiled, telling him not to worry about me.
The snake smell inside the villa was slightly different from the smell of Liu Lieyu; the smell here was more fishy.
"This way, Fairy." Little Zhang led us up to the second floor.
"Xiao Peng, you're here." A haggard-looking lady greeted us as we came up to the second floor.
"Auntie, this is a spirit medium I invited. With her here, Congcong will definitely get better."
The lady glanced at us listlessly, then forced a smile and said, "Is that so? Please come in then."
As soon as the door opened, I heard the voice of a child inside.
I stepped past Xiao Zhang to look at the child inside, and it was indeed as Xiao Zhang had described.
As soon as You and I went in, the restless child immediately hid under the covers and remained motionless.
"You two can go out first," I said, turning to Xiao Zhang and the child's mother.
"Go out?" The child's mother was somewhat reluctant.
"It's alright, Auntie, let's go out. Trust the master," Xiao Zhang said, pulling on the wealthy woman's hand.
"This..." The lady looked at me and then at Xiao Zhang.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I'll definitely give you a healthy child later." As he spoke, Xiao Zhang took the lady's hand.
The lady pursed her lips, still looking at the bed with concern.
"Auntie, don't worry, don't you trust me?" Xiao Zhang tugged at the lady again.
"Of course I believe you, Auntie." The wealthy woman patted Xiao Zhang's hand that was around her and looked at me steadily. "My sir, if you can save my child, money is no object."
I gave a knowing "hmm".
I absolutely love the phrase "money is no problem".
The lady followed Xiao Zhang out, and before closing the door, she took one last, reluctant look at the child on the bed.
After everyone had left, I stepped forward and gently lifted the blanket to reveal the child's head.
"Huh? Why are you possessing someone else's child?" I sat on the edge of the bed, staring intently at the child.
These little snake demons are really no threat at all.
The child looked at me weakly, trembling. He should have been a child. "He...he killed my child."
Just as I expected.
When I encounter this situation, I don't know how to persuade him. To us, it may just be an ordinary little snake, but to her, it is also her own child.
I have also lost children, and if a stranger were to try to persuade me to give up hatred, I would absolutely not do it.
Seeing my predicament, You stepped forward and continued, "You should understand the harm this will cause you. You have more than one child, don't you?"
The child's innocent face held an expression like that of an adult, creating an eerie and unsettling feeling.
The child's face showed a mixture of resentment and fear.
"I..." the child began, his voice trembling, filled with resentment and fear of us.
"Is a thousand years of cultivation going to be destroyed in an instant?" You spoke again, her tone becoming stern. "Why aren't you coming out?"
The child turned pale with fright, and the next second a beautiful woman in a blue robe knelt on the ground, trembling.
It turned out to be a green snake demon that had cultivated for a thousand years.
"Immortal... How could an immortal be in the mortal realm?" the beautiful woman stammered.
You simply stared at her coldly, saying nothing more.
I couldn't bear it any longer, so I pulled the beautiful lady to her feet. She must be heartbroken to lose her child.
"Get up first. I know you're angry because you lost your child..." I couldn't bring myself to say anything more. I still remember how desperately I wanted to get revenge on Liu Lieyu after losing my child.
"I understand, this was my oversight. I... I will never bother this family again." The beautiful woman stood up and bowed slightly to me.
I stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of me, and sighed, "Hey, is there anything you want? We can compensate you."
"Really?" The beautiful woman's eyes lit up instantly.
"Hmm." I nodded and tugged at You's sleeve again. "Isn't that right?"
You looked at me and knew I was thinking about my child again. "Okay, whatever you say."
"I only have one wish, please grant it to me no matter what, Immortal Master," the beautiful woman said, kneeling on the ground again in pleading.
"what would you like?"
"We wish to stay by the side of the two immortals. We beg you to grant us your request." With that, the beautiful woman knelt down and kowtowed several more times.
"This..." I glanced quickly at You beside me, then looked down at the beautiful woman on the ground and asked, "What are you doing following us?"
"Please allow me, Immortal Masters, that I may serve as your servant." The beautiful woman kowtowed several more times. "This humble demon has no other requests, only this one."
"Emmm." I regretted agreeing to the beautiful woman's request. I'm a little confused about suddenly having a little follower.
"Please grant my request, Immortal Master."
“Okay.” I thought for a moment and then said, “You can stay by our side, but you must not do anything bad, stay in your place, and not have any ulterior motives.”
"Thank you, Immortal Master. I will be loyal to you." The beautiful woman looked up at me with surprise when she saw that I had agreed, and then said very seriously, "My name is Qingzhen."
"Okay, I'm Nvxin, and this is Youyuan." I first pointed to myself and then to Youyuan.
After hearing my explanation, a look of shock crossed Qingzhen's face.
"You can get up now."
"Yes." Qingzhen stood up and obediently followed behind us, saying little as if she were invisible.
Although Qingzhen had already left the child, the child was born weak and would remain in a coma for the time being.
I glanced at the child, felt his pulse, and found that he was fine, just temporarily weak.
I glanced around and then opened the door again. "Xiao Zhang."
"Fairy, you're here." Xiao Zhang responded and rushed over. Behind Xiao Zhang was the child's mother, the noblewoman from before.
"Fairy, is the child alright?" Xiao Zhang asked me from the doorway, while the child's mother rushed to the bedside to look at the child.
"Congcong, Congcong." The noblewoman gently pushed the child on the bed.
"Don't wake him yet. The child will wake up on his own soon. Prepare some nutritious food."
"Oh, okay." The lady looked up at me with a hint of disbelief, but still went down to instruct the servants to prepare the meal.
"Xiao Zhang, the child is fine now." I turned to Xiao Zhang and said, "You still need to take me to the print shop."
“Fairy, I remember.” After glancing at the child on the bed, Xiao Zhang immediately nodded in response.
"Let's go." I ignored the lady and left the room.
Xiao Zhang followed behind me, and Qingzhen also followed us, but he did not appear, so no one else could see Qingzhen except us.
Xiao Zhang quickly led us to a print shop, and the task of printing the business cards for the Tongling shop was completed in no time.
